Death in Dakar

Death of Andy Caldecott

The organisers of the 28th edition of the Dakar have learnt today, Monday the 9th of January 2006, the death of KTM rider n°10 Andy Caldecott.

At km 250 of stage 9 between Nouakchott and Kiffa, on a fast portion, the Australian biker suffered a bad crash. and died.

Aware of the accident at 11:31AM, the rally headquarters immediately sent a medical helicopter that landed at 11:55 AM on the scene of the accident. The doctors unfortunately could only note the death of the biker that according to them struck immediately.

Andy Caldecott, 41 years of age, was competing in his third Dakar. He had finished 6th of the 2005 edition and was currently 10th overall of this edition after having won stage 5 between Nador and Er-Rachidia in Morocco.

To his family that was immediately contacted, the Dakar wishes to express its sincere condolences

..was interesting to watch a Hummer(a highly modified H3) and a H-D sidecar(V-rod) in yesterdays event!

I don't think Robby Gordan uses anything from Hummer other than the name. Its his own custom built vehicle. He's been driving that Hummer in the Dakar rally for a few years now. Not sure why he always goes so big and 2WD. The smaller VWs/Mits/BMWs are 4WD and much faster.
